An exclusive photo exhibition dedicated to Turkey's Mount Agri opens in Sofia on Friday, offering rare views from a remote and slightly known region.

The pictures were taken by Sofia News Agency's young photo reporter Kameliya Atanasova, who topped the dormant volcano last summer in a joint expedition of Bulgarian and Turkish climbers.

The expo was organized by leading PR agency M3 Communications Group, Inc., and will be held under the aegis of the Embassy of the Republic of Turkey and HE Ambassador Haydar Berk.

Snowcapped Agri rises to a height of 5165 m, and is Turkey's highest peak. It is situated near the borders with Iran, Iraq and Armenia.

Agri is the famous biblical Mount Ararat, the legendary site of the second beginning of the world. It is believed that Noah's Ark rested on its summit during the big flood, and the wide plain of Igdir at the foot of the mountain is the first place where Noah set foot after the disaster.
